Torture: no longer secret

"Pentagon To Drop Secret Interrogation Techniques: The Pentagon has announced it is dropping plans to maintain secret interrogation techniques by placing them in a classified section of the Army Field Manual. Human rights groups had raised concerns the secrecy of the techniques could have sanctioned soldiers to commit abuse. Army officials told the Associated Press the techniques will either be made public or eliminated."

yay. a win for Torture Month. Torture procedures will no longer be secret.
